Alexei Yashin Biography

Alexei Yashin is one of the most popular and richest Hockey Player who was born on November 5, 1973 in Russia, Russia. Former center who played for the Islanders and Senators in his 12 seasons in the NHL.

He played in the 2006 Winter Olympics with Russian teammate Alexander Frolov.

Yashin received his initial fame for being the first draft pick in the history of the expansion Ottawa Senators (second overall in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft). After remaining in Russia for the 1992–93 season with Dynamo Moscow, Yashin arrived in Ottawa for the 1993–94 NHL season, along with Ottawa’s other highly touted young draft selection, Alexandre Daigle. Yashin soon eclipsed Daigle as the team’s brightest young star, scoring 79 points in his rookie season and earning a nomination for the Calder Memorial Trophy.

Off the ice, Yashin’s time in Ottawa was tumultuous. Senators’ management initially viewed Daigle, who had been selected first overall in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, as the franchise’s cornerstone player. While they hesitated in offering Yashin a five-year, $4 million contract, they signed Daigle to one of the largest rookie contracts in history and touted him over Yashin for the Calder Memorial Trophy at the conclusion of the 1993–94 season. Several nasty contract disputes later developed between Yashin and the team, beginning when Yashin refused to honour his contract at the onset of the 1995–96 season, unless the terms were renegotiated to make him the team’s highest-paid player. The holdout caused many Senators’ fans to sour on him. Some commentators have sympathized with Yashin’s position in the dispute, as Daigle had struggled on the ice in contrast with Yashin’s performances. Yashin’s offensive numbers exceeded Daigle’s in every season they played together on the Senators.

He married supermodel Carol Alt in 2003.
